I am finding now it seems to take forever for seamonkey to start. Once started everything is fine. I thought it may be something to do with cache size but reducing it to a small value has not improved things.

I've noticed the same thing...currently running SM 1.1.11 and 2.12.1 in Puppy Linux 4.1.2.
The latter requires lots of overhead (especially compared to the 1.x series).
But they all do anymore, it seems.

first use the steps in this thread
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72301
except I used the glibc's - 2.10 (Not the debian libc 2.11) from here and dbus and dbus glib
http://412collection.co.uk/system.php#ug

MOST Important
I installed Gcc 4.2.2.1 from here
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/

Finally download seamonkey and unzip to opt from here

How to get Modern flash working

Copy the plugins folder from seamonkey 1.12 folder to the mozilla folder eg. /usr/lib/mozilla then copy libflashplayer.so to this folder. Archived versions available here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html. Use pupzip to extract libflashplayer.so to this plugins folder.

Is it the newer Flash that causes problems and requires all this patching? I've updated Seamonkey several times in Lucid and once in Precise, just by downloading Mozilla's generic Linux version, installing it, and pointing /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser to it. I'm using 2.15 on Lucid and (IIRC) 2.17 on Precise, with no problems, other than the bloated size of the binaries.

I don't think I've updated Flash, though. Lucid is at 10.2 r153, which mostly works for me.

@darry1966:
In 3.01, I put all the plugins in /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins.
Then I make usr/lib/mozilla itself a symlink to /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins.
This reduces bloat, since the symlink is 0 bytes...

You're running newer Puppies, which don't have the same limitations as pre-4-series.

Thankyou Dewbie I appreciate of refinement to my methods - sounds way more efficent.
